TroubleshootingAlthough YAMAHA Motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any
problem in the fuel, compression, or
ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a
quick, easy procedure for making
checks. If your Motorcycle requires
any repair, bring it to a YAMAHA
dealer. The skilled technicians at a
YAMAHA dealership have the tools,
experience, and know-how to
properly service your Motorcycle.
Use only genuine YAMAHA parts
on your Motorcycle. Imitation
parts may look like YAMAHA
parts, but they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to
expensive repair bills.

A. CLEANINGFrequent, thorough cleaning of your
Motorcycle will not only enhance its
appearance but will improve its
general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the Motorcycle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust
pipe to prevent water entry; a
plastic bag and strong rubber
band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all
filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively
greasy, apply degreaser with a
paint brush. Do not apply
degreaser to the chain, sprockets,
or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose. Use only
enough pressure to do the job.Direct excessive Hose Pressure
may cause water Entry Into Wheel
Bearing, Front Fork Brakes,
Transmission Seals & Electrical
Parts, there-by leading to its
Detorioration.
7-1
Improper cleaning can damage
the cowlings, panels and other
plastic parts. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with mild
detergent and water to clean
plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts.
Alaways use clean cloth or
sponge for cleaning the
Motorcycle.
CAUTION :4. After riding on dirty roads, wash
the Motorcycle with cold water
immediately. Do not use warm
water to clean the tyre.
5. Once the majority of the dirt has
been hosed off, wash all surfaces
with warm water and mild,
detergent-type soap. An old
toothbrush or bottle brush is
handy for hard-to-get-at places.
6. Rinse the Motorcycle off
immediately with clean water and
dry all surfaces with a chamois,
clean towel, or soft absorbent
cloth.
7. Dry the chain and lubricate it to
prevent rust.
CAUTION :CLEANING AND STORAGE
Page 61 of 79

8. Clean the seat with a vinyl
upholstery cleaner to keep the
cover pliable and glossy.
9. Automotive-type wax may be
applied to all painted and chrome-
plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner waxes. Many
contain abrasive which may mar
the paint or protective finish. When
finished, start the engine and let it
idle for several minutes.
B. STORAGELong term storage (60 days or more)
of your Motorcycle will require some
preventive procedures to guard
against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the Motorcycle,
prepare for storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and
carburetor float bowl.
2. Remove the empty fuel tank, pour
a cup of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the tank, shake the
tank to coat the inner surfaces
thoroughly and drain off the
excess oil. Reinstall the tank.
3. Remove the spark plug, pour
about one tablespoon of SAE
10W30 or 20W40 motor oil in the
spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Kick the engine over
several times (with the ignition off)
to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
4. Remove the drive chain.
Thoroughly clean the chain withsolvent and lubricate it. Reinstall
the chain or store it in a plastic bag
(tied to frame for safe-keeping).
5. Lubricate all control cables.
6. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
7. Tie a plastic bag over the
exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.
8. If storing in a humid or salt-air
atmosphere, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a light film of
oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
parts or the seat cover.
9. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and
recharge it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessively
warm or cold place (less than 0ºC
or more than Ambient).
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the Motorcycle.
